Conference description: Only a few hundred of the 50,000+ writing first novels in this country have any chance whatsoever of being published by a reputable house or press. If you search for precisely what you must know before you can conceive, market-test, and write a competitive novel ms, and perhaps even have it taken seriously by publishers like Penguin or Norton (or even good independent publishers like Copper Canyon), then you should attend an Algonkian workshop or event. Why? Because, quite frankly, our methods and approach are superior to those used in writer conferences and MFA programs.
